6:04 am
just below freezing in santa rosa at 31. 37 in san jose and 48 degrees in san francisco. high pressure the dominant feature here. it will stick around the better part of the weekend just a huge dome again building in along the west coast and sending any chance of rainfall well to the north so we're staying dry. temperatures around seasonal for this time of year usually in the 50s and 60s a every give or take a few degrees it will be right about that by the afternoon. we have much warmer days ahead. we'll talk about that coming up. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> we have some good sized delays now over at the bay bridge. we have word from a kcbs phone force member that there is a stall on the upper deck. they are working to clear it now but it is blocking one lane in the center anchorage portion of the upper deck so this is what it's doing behind the pay gates. so far those middle fastrak lanes are still getting by okay because they have not activated the metering lights yet but i have a feeling that will change any minute so in the meantime the outer cash lanes are backing up beyond the first overcrossing. elsewhere to our maps now, and it is pretty slow-and-go especially on highway 4. check out that stretch from a street
6:05 am
toward lone tree way. also kind of sluggish if you're heading towards the richmond/san rafael bridge. they have a little bit of late running roadwork on westbound 580 approaching the toll plaza. so we are checking to see the number of lanes blocked. it was supposed to wrap up that overnight roadwork by 5:00 this morning but again we are still hearing there may be some lanes blocked. elsewhere bart running about 48 trains so far all on time. and a quick check outside again here's a live look at the nimitz 880 near 66. it looks okay past the oakland coliseum. they are working to clear what sounds like a large boulder. that's what we are getting word from chp northbound 880 approaching fifth. that's traffic. back to you guys. >> thank you. a manhunt continues in southern california for the ex- lapd officer who allegedly killed three people. a citing in northridge was a false alarm. it's been eight days since police say christopher dorner killed two people.

6:08 am
tough. but i hear building a business in california is next to impossible. >> reporter: texas governor rick perry is in california and what he wants is for businesses to either set up branches in texas or move there altogether. he is doing this as californians face record high taxes. in texas, there's no income tax and more lean why aren't labor and environmental laws. california has also one of the highest unemployment rates in the country at 9.8%. perry hopes that companies will move to texas for example like facebook and ebay even though they are headquartered here in the bay area, they have opened campuses in texas. chevron has also moved 800 jobs to houston. despite the ad and this swing through california, governor brown does not seem to be too worried about perry's visit. >> should i liken it to when you stand by the ocean? no. it's a big nothing. a lot of these texans that come here they don't go back.
6:09 am
